U.S. labor laws were enacted to ensure for the safety and fair treatment of all workers regardless of industry or position. However, despite these laws and federal safety and regulatory agencies like the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, each year millions of U.S. workers are injured and killed on the job.

When someone we know is seriously injured, for instance in a bad workplace accident, we may say, “At least she is lucky to be alive.” Tragically, some work injuries are so severe that they cannot be survived.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of workers across the U.S. are affected by injuries and medical conditions that result from a workplace accident or dangerous or toxic workplace conditions. In cases where these painful injuries and debilitating conditions inhibit a worker's ability to perform assigned duties, he or she may choose to file a workers' compensation claim.
